Re: April Pickups
In Oakland the White Sox were using the spring training baseballs to warm up the outfielders between innings and also to warm up the relief pitchers in the bullpen during the opening series. they were using "practice" baseballs for batting practice.
Using special baseballs during batting practice and in bullpens is common. I have gotten or people around me have gotten many special balls over the years.

Re: April Pickups
I grabbed career baseball #1808 today during a Rangers long toss session at the Cell, and it came with a surprise. I don't know how many other MLB teams are doing this since this was my first game of the year, but Texas was using at least some 2016 Spring Training Baseballs (with the Arizona version of the Interstate road sign) in this drill. That's what I got, and it was a once game-used baseball on top of it (mud rub and surface wear). GUU members going to early season BP sessions might want to be on the lookout for these (or the Florida version).

Re: April Pickups
I'm surprised the ball didn't stick to Brett's hand the following inning after hitting.Leave a comment:
